Abstract

Objective: This case report presents the effects of traditional Korean medical treatment for a patient with symptoms of the upper burner due to Beçhet's disease. Methods: A 42-year-old male patient was treated with traditional Korean herbal medicine (herbal formulas and patent medicines), acupuncture, and cupping therapy. Neck, ocular, and right wrist pain and xerostomia were assessed daily with a numeric rating scale (NRS) and grading assessment tool for subjective symptoms. Results: For a total of 20 days over two hospitalizations, the patient's neck pain was relieved from NRS 4 to 1, the ocular pain from NRS 5 to 1, the right wrist pain from NRS 7 to 1, and the xerostomia from grade 8 to 1. Conclusion: These results show that Beçhet's disease symptoms of the upper burner can be relieved with traditional Korean medical treatment, although additional well-designed studies are required to confirm these findings.
